The Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) scores providers 0–100 across four performance categories: Quality, Cost, Promoting Interoperability, and Improvement Activities, weighted under 42 CFR §414.1380. Reporting is voluntary for many small practices, so absence of a MIPS score is not a quality signal.

Board certification through an ABMS or AOA member board signals voluntary post-licensure examination plus continuous Maintenance of Certification cycles. Verify any individual provider's status through certificationmatters.org (ABMS) or osteopathic.org (AOA).

JOSEPH FUSCO, D.O. is a Hospitalist Physician provider practicing in HARTFORD, Connecticut, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: D.O.. NPI: 1528404373. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry. Provider information is self-reported to CMS and updated monthly.

JOSEPH FUSCO, D.O. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Hospitalist Physician provider holding D.O. credentials at 114 WOODLAND ST, HARTFORD, CT, 06105, with a listed phone of (860) 714-7446. NPI 1528404373 was issued on 05/21/2013.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 81 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 34 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $54K in drug spend, split 20% brand-name and 80% generic by claim count.

Important: PlainDoctor is a directory of publicly available government data, not medical advice, a malpractice database, or a quality rating. Inclusion here does not imply a recommendation, and absence of complaints or sanctions on this page does not mean none exist — always verify credentials through the NPPES NPI Registry, your state medical board, and the ABMS or AOA before making healthcare decisions.
